Responsibilities

SunFunder’s Debt Funds Associate will support SunFunder’s efforts to raise capital for solar companies and projects in emerging markets. The Associate will draft grant proposals, oversee SunFunder’s branding and communications, increase our media presence and help fulfill investor due diligence requests. The Associate will work closely with our Chief Legal Officer and our Debt Funds Officer, and engage with a wide cross-section of the solar, energy access and impact investment communities.

The role is well-suited to someone interested in a career in clean energy finance, energy access, impact investing and/or sustainable development. It offers ample opportunity to develop substantive skills related to the core aspects of SunFunder’s business.

What We’re Looking For

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and willing/able to learn new tools/systems

Experience developing a media profile and/or other public relations or fundraising activities.

Experience related to web design and branding

Academic excellence in a relevant discipline (master’s degree preferred) and at least one year of professional experience.

SunFunder is a distributed team that includes 11 nationalities. As such, the ideal candidate is someone who over-communicates, is highly organized and results-oriented.

Hunger for helping to build an early-stage business in an entrepreneurial environment.

Willingness to challenge the way we’re doing things, “get your hands dirty” and perform unglamorous roles from time to time, as well as the ability to thrive in a rapidly changing environment.

Other qualities that are important to us: a positive attitude, intellectual curiosity, low-ego, and a good sense of humor.
